Roadside litter

[Sysagent]

I hate litter, no I go further I despise litter with a passion...

We live in a beautiful country and the complete and utter lazyness, apathy displayed by it's inhabitants is something I can never get my head around, why is it, why do it?

There is no excuse for it really there isn't, it's just the sheer "I couldn't give a toss", it's not my problem" attitude that's filling this countries society isn't it, "I'm ok someone else will pick it up (or not)" as I can't be arsed to.

I have a eleven year old child and I am instilling into her this hatred of all things litter related so she puts things in the bin and hopefully will pass this onto her friends at school etc.

Matthew Parris seems to think it's cyclists that are responsible for the majority of roadside litter.

Normally a sensible journalist, but completely wrong on that. He needs to get out of central London and see for himself.

On our ride down to Dover on Saturday, in Sittingborne I noticed a big roadside poster for Keep Britain Tidy. First time in many years I've seen one of those. Not that it'll make any difference, sadly.

By littering you are keeping road cleaners in a job, i look on it as im doing these people a favour everytime i throw my rubbish on the floor (which is frequently).

err, Matthew Parris thinks cyclists should be decapitated by stringing piano wire across the road. About a month after he puked up this little gem, I was peacefully cycling along an otherwise empty wide road (in secondary) when a white van scrapes past, forcing me off the road, with the passenger shouting something about f...ing piano wire. I would dearly like to meet Mr. Parris.

At the risk of banging on endlessly about the same thing....just driven 300 miles across northern France without seeing a single piece of litter by the roadside (quite literally, not one single piece). Off the train at Folkestone and on to the M20 and the road's verges are groaning under the weight of Coke bottles, Tesco bags, crisp packets, McDonald's detritus etc. Welcome to Britain eh?
